Log;

She wasn't trying to hide anything. It was probably the twelfth time she'd told herself this. It was a complete lie. She knew she was hiding as much as she could. The words had slipped out without her even thinking. Being forced, it was something that was a natural unpleasantness by now. Or had been.

All the forced companions and wandering hands had stopped many years ago. None of that had occurred since she left that life and betrayed everyone. Rachel, she'd probably ruined Rachael's life. Who knew what her father had done to her. She tried not to think about what had happened to those she left at home, but sometimes it crossed her mind. Sometimes in the dreams ...

She pushed open the door, her sleeves looking horribly dingy as well as the rest of her. Hair scattered out of her ponytail and face darkened by unidentifiable dirt. It had been a long day, and she didn't expect it to be over. Not after what she had said. She picked the door closed with her foot and set what she carried down, resting her body against the door to take in a few calming breaths.

She didn't even look up. She didn't need to to know he was being smug. "You're crowing now aren't you?"

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"No idea what you're talking about." What a lie. He knew very well that he was.

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

"Liar." He was such an ass.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He chuckled quietly. "Sometimes."

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

"Only when it's interesting mmm?" She was teasing of course, but it was too fun to tease him.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

The grin on his face widened. "Sometimes."

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

She smacked him in ... she thought it was his chest. "Ass."

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He grunted as it hit mostly his stomach. Then he laughed. "Just a trickster farm boy actually."

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

"Even trickster farm boys can be asses." She turned her head to the side, facing his neck.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"We are far more tolerable than lords and ladies who are asses though." And that was a very, very true fact.

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

"..." She really wasn't quite sure what to think of that. She had been what he would term a lady for quite some time, so she kept silent, not saying a word yet feeling awkward.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"There are nobles who aren't you know. That aren't snobs with their noses in the air." He sighed. He did actually like them. Them you could talk to at the very least. They were just harder to find.

She closed her eyes tightly. "It wasn't horrible, there were parts that I really did like." Did that make her a bad person? She never really knew.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"There are parts I like about it too. I don't ever want to be a bloody lord though." The thought always bothered him. At least here no one called him 'Lord Mat'.

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

"Were you planning on being one?" She refused to look up at him. It was, a strange feeling, being almost ashamed of your past.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"No." The answer was plain and simple. He had no plans to be one. It was too much bloody trouble.

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

"You you weren't planning to be one, then why even think about if you were one?"

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He frowned and opened his eyes to stare at the ceiling. "In my world, I just want to be a gambling farmer. No title. But somehow I would up being a general and I am constantly given a bloody title. 'Lord Mat'."

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

She buried her face into his neck and hugged him more tightly. She couldn't help laughing, it was too amusing. "Maybe they want to make you God."

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

He gave her a half-hearted growl in irritation. "It's not funny. I don't want to be their flaming god or their flaming lord or their flaming general." He let out a deep breath. "Light..."

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

She hummed into his neck a bit. "Try not to think about it here then. What will happen there is something we cannot change."

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

That felt good... "I know. It's a bloody destiny thing. There's no escaping it. Though I did try. Believe me."

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

"Well, you managed to come here haven't you?" She kept her face buried in his neck, still talking into the side in a muffled voice.

[bloodygoodluck.livejournal.com]

"Yes. That was new." She really had no idea how good that felt. And she wouldn't unless he pointed it out too... But that's who she was.

[light-lost.livejournal.com]

No, she didn't, she was just trying to hide her blush from him. "But it's a good thing .... right." She hated second guessing herself, worrying that she really wasn't wanted. Wasn't wanted like every other time.
